So last week, because of a migraine and just timing, I didn’t send up streaming. Well, I didn’t end up streaming on my normal days. I had some time Friday evening to stream and doing so, which was a bonus. That stream, I finished going through my first Kallax making eve more space in it as I figured out new games that were leaving the collection and consolidated others. You can watch Part 2 here. So what board games are in the collection or leaving?

Which Board Games Are Leaving?

Like last time, I’m doing this basically as a Point of Sale where I look at what games are leaving my collection. And I talked about it a bit, i had been thinking about trading them, and I likely will still for some. But there is a board game market coming up at a cidery very close to me in May. My goal is to have a number of games to sell by then and I’ve already signed-up, waiting on confirmation, for a table.

The War of Mine

This one I bought a while ago from the interesting review of NPI (No Pun Included). I thought that it looked like a good, but depressing solo game. They brought up that the rules are an issue. And that is why it is leaving my collection. I’ve spent some time trying to learn the rules and how to play, but with the dark theme and hard rules, I’m not sure I need it.

Dead of Winter

Dead of Winter is a game that is consistently in my Top 100, though, hanging on the lower edge the past year or so. The reason it’s going is that the game is just too hard to get to the table. I’ve played it probably ten times and there is a learning curve, albeit a minor one, each time. That isn’t the end of the world, but add in a longer game time even on the shorter scenarios, and it just doesn’t get played that often. I have the Dead of Winter and Long Night, so both are going away.

Mage Knight

Speaking of games that are hard to get tot he table, Mage Knight never made it to my table. It is one that I had plans to stream, but the game has enough stuff, and the rule book is not great, that I kept on putting it off. Now, I just don’t think that I’m going to play it. But it is one of those where I can get it back if and when I want to play it. I know Mage Knight is supposed to be a great solo game.

7th Continent

Another one that I know is supposed to be a great solo game. But 7th Continent is leaving my collection. I maybe should hold onto it longer, but I backed 7th Citadel. 7th Citadel is more story driven, it seems, than 7th Continent where you are wandering, especially for the first curse. If each curse took two hours or even two hours and win or lose, I would keep it. But 7th Citadel promising me more story, even though maybe not for a bit, I’ll move on from 7th Continent.

Homebrewers (kind of)

So, this isn’t in the video, and that is because I didn’t have the game yet when I did the video. Now, I kind of had the game, I do own a copy of Homebrewers, and I bought a second one on Kickstarter because it had the equipment expansion with it. That expansion is almost impossible to find. I found a copy in the UK for $1 or so, plus $28 shipping. Or I found one with the board game in the US for the same price.So the second copy is going to get sold.

The Drink

Just a classic old fashioned. I find that is what I want right now. We’re not to the point where I want really hoppy beers on warm days, we’re aren’t warm yet. And while my Creamsicle drink the week before is good, I don’t want that much sweet all of the time. And Old Fashioned just adds in enough sweet to it, plus I can balance it out by adding in more bitters as I need.

Upcoming Streams

So no stream last night, was getting some new kittens. But I plan on streaming tomorrow, most likely Part 4 of Should It Stay or Should It Go. I might throw in a game play as well. I’m not quite at the point with Perdition’s Mouth: Abyssal Rift to be ready to play it, though I am learning the rules. And I have deadlines for both Should It Stay or Should It Go and Perdition’s Mouth.
